*Terri’s notes:
~ This has been a favorite when ever the ladies gather for a luncheon!
~ Leftovers are great or it freezes well too!
~ Serve with grilled cheese or gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches.
~ Add the dill one Tablespoon at a time, tasting as you go.
~ My healthy friend Mary substituted 1/3 cup olive for all butter, 1/3 cup arrow root for flour,
left out the dill, added more basil and 1 tsp. Herbs de Provence. New flavor, gluten free!
